How do I update HMI OS?

[falseth]

I have a TPC-2012 with Window CE 5. I'd like to install Windows XP Embedded on it. Does anyone know if it's possible? How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

My regards,

You can not install XP unless you insert more SDRAM and a new and bigger flash drive. I do not know if the 2012 support 4 GB flash drive. Perhaps it is doable, But it will take some time and money. Perhaps you should buy a new 2512. Given the time it will take and the investment, I guess you will be better of with a new HMI. But if you feel for it, just do it 😉

Hi t06afre. Thanks for your answer. I'll think about an alternative. I'll post an answer about this.
